Single Girder Gantry Crane - MHO Gantry Crane 5 Ton-S10m-H12m

The 12m lifting height on this high lift gantry crane is purpose-built for applications where standard hook heights are insufficient:

• Tall high-bay workshops — factories with roof heights above 14m needing full vertical coverage
• Multi-tier storage bays — stacking or retrieving materials at 3–4 levels above floor
• Vertical shaft lifting — lowering or raising components into deep pits, shafts, or below-grade structures
• Heavy equipment maintenance — lifting tall machinery or vertical assemblies that need clearance above the load
• Power plant & energy facilities — turbine halls, boiler rooms, and vertical component handling

If your facility has a standard roof height (under 10m), a high lift gantry crane may not be necessary — a standard H5m–H7m model would be more economical. Tell Yuantai your actual required lift, not the maximum possible.

At 12m hook height, load sway becomes a major safety concern because the pendulum effect is amplified by rope length. This high lift gantry crane addresses sway through three systems:

• Full VFD stepless speed control — smooth acceleration and deceleration on hoist (0.8 / 5.0 m/min), trolley (2.0–20.0 m/min), and long travel (2.0–20.0 m/min) prevents sudden load swing
• NR European low-headroom hoist — precise rope guiding and grooved drum reduce rope slack and lateral movement
• Dual control operation — pendant + wireless remote lets the operator stand at the best viewing position, which is critical at high elevation

For extreme high-lift applications (above 15m), an anti-sway electronic system can be added — ask Yuantai engineering.

The 10.0m span is the center-to-center distance of the two rails. The girder itself must extend beyond the rail centerlines to carry the end carriages, buffers, and wheel assemblies. On this high lift gantry crane:

• Span: 10.0m (10,000 ± 6 mm center-to-center)
• Girder overhang: 550mm on each side
• Total girder length: 11.1m (11,100mm)

When planning your high bay gantry crane, use the 11.1m total length for clearance checks against walls, columns, and structures, and the 10.0m span for rail centerline positioning.

Six numbers on this high lift gantry crane drawing must match your site, or the crane will not fit or operate correctly:

If any of these six differ from your site, tell Yuantai before ordering — each change affects price and lead time on the high lift gantry crane.

The 4.0m wheel base (and 5.0m end carriage base) on this high lift gantry crane is larger than standard low-lift models because:

• Taller mast = higher center of gravity — a wider wheel base increases tipping resistance during travel and braking
• 12m hook height — when the hook is fully raised, the load and rope create additional overturning moment on the legs
• Dynamic stability during travel — long travel at 2.0–20.0 m/min with a 5t load at 12m height requires a wider support base
• Rail load distribution — a wider wheel base spreads the load more evenly along the P22 rail

Do not reduce the wheel base on this high lift gantry crane without a stability re-analysis. The 4.0m wheel base is a structural safety requirement, not a preference.

The maximum wheel load is 55.8 kN per wheel on this high lift gantry crane — higher than standard low-lift models because the taller structure and 12m lift increase the load on the end carriages. Key points:

• P22 steel rail is the recommended rail type
• Rail foundation must be designed for 55.8 kN concentrated load per wheel
• Wheel base: 4.0 m distributes the load along the rail
• Total crane weight: 7.8 t — significantly heavier than standard 5t gantry cranes due to the 12m mast

Because 55.8 kN is a moderate wheel load, the rail foundation can typically be a reinforced concrete beam rather than a heavy pile foundation. Confirm with your civil engineer using the 55.8 kN figure.

To avoid surprises at installation, these items are outside the high lift gantry crane supply scope unless you specifically add them:

• P22 ground rail and rail fasteners
• Rail foundation designed for 55.8 kN wheel load
• Site power supply up to the crane isolator
• Erection crane and site lifting equipment (critical at 12m height)
• Local electrical connection and permits

Because the high lift gantry crane structure is taller and heavier, installation requires larger erection equipment than a standard gantry crane. Yuantai can provide installation guidance and foundation load drawings as optional items.

Send these ten items and Yuantai will issue a free custom high lift gantry crane CAD drawing, 3D model, and proposal within 24 hours:

1. Required lifting height (m) — most important for high lift
2. Building clear height above rail level (m)
3. Required lifting capacity (t)
4. Main rail gauge / span (m)
5. Rail length / travel distance (m)
6. Power supply (V / Hz / Ph)
7. Lifts per hour or hours per day (duty)
8. Indoor or outdoor environment
9. Longest load length and weight
10. Control preference: pendant, wireless, cabin, or dual

The more complete the list, the faster and more accurate the high lift gantry crane drawing, 3D model, and quote.
